Blog It Right

I just read an email stating that one of the local high school principals here in my town is trying to eliminate all foreign language classes EXCEPT Spanish from his school. Of course, it is mandatory to receive a certain amount of foreign language credits to graduate. Guess that takes the guess work out of which language a student will choose as the foreign language.

President Bush said Friday as reported by breitbart.com"One of the things that's very important is, when we debate this issue, that we not lose our national soul," the president exclaimed. "One of the great things about America is that we've been able to take people from all walks of life bound as one nation under God. And that's the challenge ahead of us." What was he talking about? THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.. Are you kidding me? Evidently according to the Breitbart article "A Spanish language version of the national anthem was released Friday by a British music producer, Adam Kidron, who said he wanted to honor America's immigrants"

Yeah people we are in no danger of loosing America.. Nah not at all.

I have explained my disdain previously of driving down the street and reading Spanish only billboards, or pulling into the drive thru of McDonalds to a bilingual menu. I don't live in a border town, if I did I may understand it. I live in Colorado. I live no where near any borders of our Country.

The State of Colorado has declared English its "official" language, but you wouldn't know it. An English only referendum was bid adieu yesterday. Although the referendum had some over the top ideas such as the following as reported by the Pueblo Chieftain

"banning the state from printing or distributing anything in a language other than English, but also would have barred libraries from purchasing anything written in another language and prohibited schools from requiring students to take foreign language classes."

I think it is important the the United States designate English as its official language. I also think it is important for students to learn a foreign language. At most schools you have to have taken at least one year of foreign language to graduate. However allowing and catering to a hodgepodge of languages will eventually lead to a very bad scene.

Our Country is loosing our identity, in every way. As much as we hear how we want to take over the world by trying to dominate others, we sure let people walk all over us. We are catering so much to those who give nothing to us, that we will eventually loose America.

I remember one time I was at a bar and a guy came up and was talking to me, the conversation turned to his occupation. He was a doctor. Somehow we started talking about cancer and boobs(again with the boobs?? sorry mom). He told me how important breast exams were. Then he did the nicest thing, he offered to examine them for me, so we went to the office at the bar and he showed me proper technique. Thankfully he found nothing odd, and recommended that I let him examine me every six months or so. Wow that guy was awesome, he never even charged me. I wish there were more doctors like him out there.

With all the talk of ILLEGAL immigration aka documentationally challenged(thanks Smoove D) I have been wondering how other countries react to ILLEGALS. I find it hard to believe that any country aside from perhaps Canada, welcomes the "long term migrants" openly. Looks like maybe the U.S. laws and reactions(or lack of reaction) to them aren't so bad after all. Yup mean ole Uncle Sam pointing his cane at illegals isn't quite as cruel as the way others take care of business. God forbid we make ILLEGALS in this Country go home.

Saturday night I went to the grocery store for dinner. The grocery store is one of those where they have 3 lanes open and 10 closed, with lines all the way to the back of the store. This was one of those nights, tons of people. I was thinking in my mind(good place to think) that it was quite busy for a Saturday night. What really caught my attention was how many dozens of eggs people were holding. By the time I made it up to the register it finally clicked that the next day was Easter. The people weren't all on some crazy new egg only diet, but were buying eggs to dye. I mentioned to the checker what an idiot I was and how I obviously didn't have kids, at which point she pointed to the Easter basket full of candy I was purchasing. My boyfriend gave up candy for Lent so the Easter bunny was going to visit him, via my purchase.

Ok, totally not the point of my story, but I thought I would share my moment of idiocy with all of you. Easter Sunday was spent with our families. Including niece and nephew which meant Easter egg hunt. It was great watching all the kids in their cute little outfits hunting for eggs and candies. Its pure fun and enjoyment.

The White House holds an Easter egg hunt of its own, the day after Easter. What a great time for these kids to be able to go to such an event, although at that age I am sure they don't understand who's big white house they are at, and really it doesn't matter. How sad and sick that people take advantage of this children's function to protest or make a political statement. Several of this years attendants to the Easter Egg Roll exploited their children by using them to make a political statement. Gay couples brought children, not a problem, the problem was the blatant use of "rainbow colored leis". According to The Sun Times, approximately 200 gays and lesbians wore the leis and brought children to the event to make a statement that they should be allowed to be there. OBVIOUSLY, gays lesbians or whatever being there wasn't against the rules, they were there weren't they? Why turn an innocent event into such a thing? Perhaps if you only have children to appease your political statement you shouldn't have children at all. What a shame. Perhaps you can save your political whoring of your children to Rosie's Cruise.

Although I am sure it killed them to do so, the ACLgetaclUe seemed to do something "patriotic", although they are doing it under the favorite "freedom of expression" front.

A California girl got in trouble in school for showing an American Flag. The girl had a small bandanna style American Flag in her pocket and allowed it to hang out in display. Does anyone else find it funny that during this argument on illegal immigrants, our citizens of the United States seem to have less rights then the illegals that are here?

Good job ACLgetaclUe for getting one right.. I am glad to see you fighting for the rights of our Country even if you are too ashamed to admit it.

76 more days.. Less then 2 1/2 months.. That is how much time I have left. As each day passes I can feel it coming closer. No, I am not suffering from a deathly disease. I am turning 30.

I know in my mind, this is not a bad thing, definitely better than the alternative. I am not sure what I am expecting to happen. Perhaps the morning of my birthday I will wake up with gray hair, wrinkles, and shriveled up ovaries.

I am happy in my life I have a great boyfriend, 2 dogs, a house, a car, and a job to support it all,well the boyfriend supports himself (also a plus). What could I possibly be worried about turning 30? Everything! Nothing! I don't know!! Oh God I think I am going to puke now.. Morning sickness?? No, my head is just spinning..

Yes, part of my problem is that I am almost 30, no husband no child. A few years ago I was proud of that. Now when people ask my marital/baby status, I zone out and picture my house full of cats. I try and convince myself that my current status is much better than, A. Being divorced with kids, B. Having no-one and nothing. How can I know that, but yet still feel like the world is coming to an end?

Worse than convincing myself is convincing others. My friends, family and coworkers, think that if I don't have a ring on my finger by my birthday I will jump off a tall building. My mother has a friend who owns a baby store(no they don't sell babies, only baby stuff). I think she started putting things on layaway several years ago. My mom continually tells me that she knows I will do all the married stuff when I am ready and she is not worried about it. Yeah Right.. She has begun to call my puppies, her grand babies. Worse, I call them my babies..

A few months ago I decided I wanted to do roller derby, unfortunately that didn't pan out. The same week I decided I wanted to knock out girls while rollerskating in a circle, I got my belly button pierced. OH NO, signs of a midlife crisis?? Thank god I am a female, or I would have joined hair club for men and bought a convertible.. This weekend I noticed an abundance of cellulite in my thighs. I am not fat, not even chubby, I look HOT in clothes, just don't take me out of them.. My boyfriends best friend dates a 19 year old. Skinny, blond, young, ( I have bigger boobs..) I have her beat in the cute department and the brain department but I refuse to let her look better then me in a bikini.. I ran (drove) to the store to buy an elliptical machine. What a change from the weekend before when I was ticked off that a store clerk asked me for my I.D. to purchase a lottery ticket. You only have to be 18 to buy one.

Its all good, 30 is just a number right?? Does anyone have any Valium?

The U.S. Census Bureau recently released information that ranks each state according to it's taxes. I was not surprised to see that my home state of Colorado was ranked 47th in total per capita taxes. Here in Colorado we passed a gem of an amendment in 1992 that is commonly referred to as the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights or TABOR. TABOR'S concept is simple, it limits state government revenues to the previous year's allowed collections plus any increases in population and inflation. Any amount exceeding this limit must be returned to the taxpayers unless voters grant the legislature permission to keep it.

After enjoying well over ten years of limited government the liberals, squishy republicans and power hungry legislators decided they had enough. With the help of Governor Bill Owens, who calls himself a conservative (insert expletive here), they were able to get a measure known as Referendum C on the ballot. This referendum puts dagger in the heart of TABOR and after out spending the opposition 10-1 and lying to the voters saying "it is not a tax increase" the bill was narrowly passed.

Colorado can say good bye to the rank of 47th, if we are lucky we won't catch up to California. I hope all conservatives have learned their lesson-just because a gubernatorial candidate calls himself a conservative doesn't mean he is one.

What is the meaning of Patriotism?

I work in an office where all but three of us are related. Those that are related come and go as they please for the most part. If they choose to wake up one morning and not come in well hey,"My dads the owner". I have always known that I do not have that leeway. Okay before I get carried away on office drama I should get to the point.. Some people in the nations work force understand simple rules of employment. Most of them know it all begins by actually showing up for work. Some of them even understand that if you happen to not show up on a day you are supposed to show up you may get fired.. Gasp.. Seems just like other rules and regulations of our land 15 women in Detroit, didn't understand that rule. Go figure miss work get fired. HOW RUDE!!

Hey while we are firing those that don't show up for work, why don't we also suspend those that are missing school? Even better lets go to these "immigration rallies" and start arresting the ILLEGALS...

Several of you are wondering why Ms. Jones has yet to write about Libby announcing that the President authorized the leaks. So here ya go. Lets first start off by saying Libby never said the President did authorize the leaks, what he did say was that his "superiors" authorized the leaks. Yes I know... I can hear your moans all the way over here. Lets also mention that the Plame leak has not yet been lumped in with the "authorized leak". DONT THROW THINGS AT ME YET....

IF President Bush or anyone else authorized the leaking of Classified information they should definitely get sent back to where they came from.. Oh wait wrong story.. they should definitely face punishment. Extreme punishment. What we need to know is was it leaking of Classified info or the release of declassified information. Even your pal John Kerry stated that President Bush can declassify information when he wants and that that may be the case in this situation. Even your pal John Kerry said talk of impeachment is ridiculous.. What does irk me though is if that if this is all releasing declassified info Libby shouldn't be in the situation he is in. Administration should have taken the rap to begin with.

Why hasn't the White House responded? Well to most of you it is because they must be guilty, to some of the rest of you it means they aren't guilty, and to some it means they don't know what the heck is going on. You pick. I think the media jumped the gun, naming President Bush the authorizing party of classified information, and the White House isn't going to feed into it.

For those who think that the ILLEGAL immigration topic is simply a distraction from this issue, I think you are grasping at straws or perhaps don't see the daily effects of ILLEGAL immigrations. See I think our President as well as our other elected officials are capable of dealing with more than one issue at a time. Lets just hope one of the other items he is dealing with is the budget.

Last night I was listening to some talk radio in my car. I tuned in half way through an interview about a teacher/coach who was being disciplined for passing out flyers at a school. The flyers were evidently urging students to attend a rally supporting ILLEGAL immigration. The teacher was disciplined by taking away his coaching job. The man who was being interviewed seemed to be a school board member, and said he felt that taking away the coaching was more than sufficient punishment. He claimed the teacher would loose approx. $1,200.00/year coaching salary , which he said equalled about 1/3 of his teaching salary.

As soon as I arrived in my lovely home I hopped on the internet to get the scoop. I was shocked to read the article. The article from Chron.com tells of a tasteless flyer handed out to students which included profanity, and what I saw as promoting "bad vibes". What really shocked me though was that it didn't seem the school officials were really all that upset about the flyer itself but the fact he used school copier to make them. Say What?? The flyer read"We gots 2 stay together and protest against the new law that wants 2 be passed against all immigrants. We gots 2 show the U.S. that they aint (expletive) with out us (sic)," (side note: he is an English as a second language teacher) You will also see from the chron article that the guy makes $42,000.00 a year, yeah that $1,200 is definitely getting him in the cojones. What a joke. This man should be fired and what the heck send him back to where he came from, perhaps he will be better at teaching Spanish as a second language.

Well I had a mental breakdown and told CodeRonin I was moving in with him and his lovely girlfriend Ms. Kitka. However, in an effort to not make her podcasts any racier, I will stay here in the US of A.

Really though, I love my Country, I just can't believe what we are turning into. The latest I am speaking of, banning patriotic clothing at schools. Wow.. Someone please remind me when it become a bad thing to care about our Country? We seem to be loosing our rights to be proud of who we are. We care so much about fighting for the rights of others we don't seem to give a rats about ourselves and are looked down upon if we do.

Sure I know we are talking about wearing a tshirt here. If that is the only way you can express yourself as a proud American, you need to rethink some things. However we are talking about kids. Sure you can't wear red it represents bloods, you can't wear blue it represent crips, but hey you can't even wear red white and blue, it represents patriotism. I am so confused about the thought process these days I could puke.

This is OUR United States, lets take it back. I am tired of being told we are the only people who shouldn't be proud. Everyone else here is allowed to be proud, lets not let our pride be put on the back burner.

I almost feel like I am stuck in a bad dream about a three ring circus. Can we give the libs any more ammunition? More importantly then the black mark this gives our administration, is how sick and disgusting this grown man is.

Most of you have read at least one of my bajillion entries on ILLEGAL immigration. I have been trying to write this entry for a week now, but my blood starts boiling and I feel I am just repeating things I have stated so many times. I shall try again today. A few weeks ago Bush in a some what surprising move ruled against amnesty for ILLEGAL citizens. Thank God. Of course we still get to wait and hear his "guest worker" proposal...

Do you realize that there are over 12 MILLION people living in the United States that are here ILLEGALLY? 12 million people lets just say that they cost the U.S just one dollar each a year.... can you figure the math.. Truth is it doesn't cost the US just one dollar each a year. I believe it was the same day that the latest ILLEGAL immigrant bs became the topic of many conversations that "113 suspected illegal immigrants arrested in two days " in my state after some car accidents due to bad weather(insert joke here). According to the Rocky Mountain News 17 of those were in one SUV, another 25 in a single van. How much money do you think that is costing the State of Colorado? What amazes me is that there are so many people out there that still don't see the problem.

People are whining and crying about the rights of ILLEGALS. Students all over the nation including some 14,000 in L.A. are walking out (ditching) of school in protest. (insert second joke here). Don't forget ILLEGAL immigrants don't just come from Mexico. A recent protest in Chicago according to their CBS network says those protesting included "Polish, Irish, Latino, Chinese" among others. What were they protesting? The Border Protection, Anti terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act . Ah yes that makes perfect sense.

What astonishes me is that the big thing is our country is trying to enforce current ILLEGAL immigration laws.. ILLEGAL=ILLEGAL meaning it is against the law. What is the issue? It is ILLEGAL to be here undocumented, that means you can not stay and you must go. We have too many people here legally we have to take care of why are we being looked down upon because we are being forced to take in more? You bitch and complain because of the crime rates, the drugs, the guns, but what happens if an undocumented person participates in these crimes? Nothing, we don't know who the heck they are. Don't feed me the bs that just because they are here doesn't mean they are criminals. THAT is exactly what it means. They are criminals. It is a complete joke.

The other argument we hear is that ILLEGALS aren't taking away jobs from Americans because Americans won't do those types of jobs. Again I say bs. There are plenty of able bodied people that live off the Government because A. they want to B. they have to because they can't find work. Bingo... send them to these jobs.. I guarantee that if they want work they won't care if they are cleaning toilets, or working in a field because they would rather do that show up at a grocery store with food stamps. For those who just want to live off the government tough titie, if they can work make them.

Noone is closing the gates on immigrants, but there are process'. If you can't handle obeying the law and following that process, then go back to where you came from.

Note: I have asked a friend of Blogitright to also write an entry on ILLEGAL immigration. Keep your eyes open for it, I will continue to twist his arm..
